Odds and sods and news


Jesus rocks: A little update on Kanye's upcoming CD, which has been delayed until September 11 (same day as 50 Cent's new joint!).

Check it: The Hives have unveiled some newsy news about their upcoming album (no release date). The Black and White Album (Please be a Prince-Beatles mash-up) is being finished up in Mississipi studio, although they also recorded in London, Sweden and Miami (with Pharrell!)

Supergroup alert! John Mellencamp, Kelly Clarkson and Faith Hill will perform at the Colts/Saints game in Indianapolis on September 6.

Supercorn what now? Radiohead guitarist Jonny Greenwood's orchestral piece "Popcorn Superheat Receiver" is headed for the U.S. for the first time at New York's St. Paul the Apostle on January 16-17 as part of the Wordless Music Series. The piece, which features a 34-piece string orchestra was first performed in England in '05.

Whoa, that's a lotta REM: The dudes at MPLSfuckingrocks have posted a tankload of youtube clips of REM performing new material in Dublin. Pretty good.
